PlusNet Community Website

It’s been a while since we last provided an update about our anti-spam platform back at the beginning of February. Since then you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s all been a bit quiet on spam front, but rest assured we’ve definitely not been been resting on our laurels. Over the last two months our developers and network engineers have been busy beavering away at the configuration, code and script changes that will allow us to introduce the functionality promised when we last blogged about the subject.

In my role as Product Development Manager at PlusNet, I see lots of products that the seller would have us believe will be the ‘next big thing’™.

It’s rare that I agree. Few new technologies stand out as being anything life changing, and often I have to point out to manufacturers how notoriously difficult UK consumers are to please. Just because someone has sold X million units in Japan or the States it’s no indication that a product will fly in the UK.

Back in January, we published our plans for 2007. We thought that it was about time we updated you with our progress on these plans. Some of the items are complete, others are well underway, and there are some that we haven’t made as much progress on as we’d have liked. The traffic light marking scheme () should make it pretty clear which are which!

Yesterday I (re)started posting an End of Day report - veteran Force9′ers might remember these reports yonks ago on Usenet. What is an EOD I hear you ask? Simply a quick update from around the departments here at PlusNet Towers. I’ll try to provide you with some insight into happenings and events from our perspective. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, it’s not meant to be absolutely comprehensive and it’s not meant to be scientific.. it’s just meant to be vaguely interesting (well, I hope it is anyway) and provide a feel of what it’s like here today.

I’m eager to hear from any of you who remember the original EODR’s and certainly about what you’d like to see. So here we go then..
